Martin predicts ‘high volume of Covid cases’, says hospital figures keenly watched
Mr Martin stressed that notwithstanding the rising number of cases due to the Delta variant, the situation facing the Government now was very different to 12 months ago or indeed six months ago, due to the vaccines rollout.
“Obviously vaccination is the more effective tool and we are doing very well on that front and we will continue with that, and I would urge people to take the vaccine offered to them, but I do think we are in a different stage of the pandemic compared to six months ago or compared to last year,” the Taoiseach said.
Mr Holohan has repeatedly recommended that parents not bring children out for indoor dining, even though under the proposed rules this is allowed. Asked about Dr Holohan’s comments, Mr Martin on Saturday denied there was tension between the Government and Dr Holohan over the issue and insisted Ministers heed the advice received from public health experts.
